Baseball Recap: Wausaukee Takes a Loss

Wausaukee extended their losing streak to six on Thursday, dropping their season record down to 1-9 in the process. They fell 8-4 to the Coleman Cougars. Unfortunately, that's the second time they've come up short against the Cougars this season, as they also lost their prior matchup 14-5 back in April.

As for Coleman, the win (which was their sixth in a row) raised their record to 8-1. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.7 runs on average over those games.

For Coleman's part, Tyler Reine and Gavin Pusick did most of the damage at the plate: Reine went 2-for-4 with two stolen bases, two runs, and two RBI, while Pusick went a perfect 3-for-3 with two stolen bases, two runs, and one double. Pusick has been hot, having posted at least one stolen base the last five times he's played. Another player making a difference was Wyatt Bieber, who went 2-for-4 with two runs, one stolen base, and two RBI.

We've got plenty of inter-conference action coming up soon. Wausaukee will challenge rival Niagara at 4:30 p.m. on Friday. Meanwhile, Coleman is set to take on their familiar foe Lena at 4:30 p.m. on Friday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (the Cougars 2, the Wildcats 3) so any runs scored will be well earned.
